Kevon Looney provided a boost off the bench with 18 points (5-of-7 FGs), three rebounds, two assists and four blocks against the Thunder on Wednesday.
Quinten Post got the first start of his career at center, but the experiment was short-lived. He played eight minutes in the first half and contributed two turnovers and three fouls. Looney ended up filling most of the center minutes and started the second half in place of Post. This was a new season-high for both points and blocks for Looney, which led to arguably his best game of the season. Assuming Trayce Jackson-Davis remains out against the Suns on Friday, Looney will likely get the starting nod in that game.
Kevon Looney (illness) is not on the injury report ahead of Thursday’s game against Chicago.
Looney exited early from their last game, which allowed Trayce Jackson-Davis and Quinten Post to split the majority of the center minutes. Looney moved into the starting lineup for that game and should remain in that role for this game.
Kevon Looney (illness) will not return to Wednesday’s game against the Kings.
Looney started Wednesday’s game but only played nine minutes. His early exit resulted in more minutes for Quinten Post, who moved into the rotation behind Trayce Jackson-Davis. Jackson-Davis is the only Warriors center worth rostering in most leagues, whether he starts or not.
Stephen Curry, Buddy Hield, Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, and Kevon Looney will start Wednesday’s game against Sacramento.
Warriors coach has made two changes to his starting lineup in the aftermath of Monday’s 40-point loss to the Celtics. Hield and Looney are in, with Dennis Schroder and Trayce Jackson-Davis moving to the bench. While Hield can have a big scoring night, inconsistency has been an issue for him this season. As for Looney, his inclusion in the lineup may help Jackson-Davis avoid early foul trouble, and managers who have TJD rostered should not panic.
